Well who knows – Not me for sure? I just drove about a 45 mile round trip, 100+ degrees both and on the freeway and surface streets with traffic. The fuel mileage was averaging about 19 mpg with the AC running a hard as it can. I checked the radiator twice and it ?SEEMS? there was no loss of coolant. I can’t be sure of that till it cools off enough to actually open the radiator but based on the expansion tank all is well – maybe. After removing the old (REALLY OLD) hose I could see how it could have been leaking down on the water pump and engine block right in front of the fan where I couldn’t see it and then evaporating almost immediately leaving no evidence. Hey it could be – I hope it is but it IS too soon to be confident. Arizona isn’t a good place to overheat in July
New eye glasses selected and ordered. I went back to the small lenses for two reasons- appearance and height. The weight difference was a lot more than I expected if I could tell just by lifting them. I was assured that if there is any problem with them I can bring them back and get them exchanged. No one at VA has ever mentioned that before. Once again I say “We’ll See”.
After a few projects around “old #5” this week the shop is a mess again or more accurately STILL. I need to fill the dumpster too but that won’t take long with cactus parts that I have to an excess.
Word from my Wis. Friends- STORMS ! Downed trees and damaged buildings. Lots of work needed to get things back in shape. My guess is lots of fire wood available – and I gripe when debris blows into the yard. I may be compelled to re-evaluate my priorities more strictly – Ya Thank?
No plans for the weekend. Blues up at the Eagle Brewery both Friday & Sat evening. A different group each evening with one being a little loud for my taste but I’m not familiar the other. May (?) correct that situation tomorrow evening.
